Season: Spring 2008
Leaf Form: One bud, one leaf
Organic Cert: USDA, EU 2092/91
An intoxicating tea! This organic Long Jing is elaborated from tender leaves harvested at an elevation of over 800 meters in Zhe Jiang Province. It presents an array of high pitch fragrances ranging from sweet citrus flora to baked nutty aromas. With the leaf placed only moments in a warm glass the aroma of oranges and almonds rises slowly towards the opening. The dry leaf is composed of long, thin buds and the first one or two leaves, each fried to a beautiful jade green color. The emerald green infusion complements the aroma well with yet more nutty characteristics and floral notes. This Long Jing is smooth, calming and requires little effort to enjoy its inspiring complexities.
